I actually shook off depression with all of these things as part of a daily routine consistently for 6 months. Then sadly, after some drastic shifts at work, depression managed to engulf me all over again. If your depression is moderate this will work wonders, but don't be afraid of reaching out to your doctor about medicated therapy options. I was afraid of going that route, and staggered through 9 months of waiting for things to hopefully get back to normal while doing what i could of the routine. .. but now I'm back to it and couldn't be happier.

You forgot the most important things setting goals and socialising: actually socialising with people either out Or indoors. From a person who has been suffering for years actually daring to go out, setting dreams again splitting them into little goals volunteering, doing something that feels good like helping others, being of service is the best cure, and bit by bit learn to build a supportive tribe around you it could be one or two people but "real" support system. Eventually u' ll learn resilience and get mentally and emotionally strong
Wishing you all peace , love, and happiness people

I heard in a podcast that said, āitās important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me).
Iāve had to overhaul how I approach taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 40-60% effort into my journaling habit - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on my yt channel. After a really bad depression phase I started to believe I couldnāt change and Iād feel that horrible forever.
Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now Iām trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up. Iām still figuring out how to be a person again, reintegrate into society but right now I have a solid foundation that Iāve never had before.

As someone who used to have depression and have crippling anxiety while also overthink, I know it's not easy. We want to change to be better and cure the sh*t. Sometimes these treatment are in our mind but it's almost impossible to do because we just feel tired and exhausted. I hope we can go through all of this together. Thanks Psych2go for the useful therapies. I hope people with similar situations can share because only us that go through depression know how it feel than expressing to people who just take it for granted and make fun. May good God cure us all.

You nailed it! Because depression has gotten scarily severe a few times in my life, I learned to do the things you've mentioned decades ago thanks to excellent therapists and psychiatrists, and am motivated to keep it up. The main thing is to keep doing these as prevention, and also when depression is in the milder stages, before doing anything becomes impossible. And really key is to aggressively pursue top notch mental health experts, consistently adhere to medications and change when they quit working, and remember that this is a DISEASE THAT CAUSES THE BRAIN TO LIE!!! My goal is to practice patience, because I never know if tomorrow will be the day depression lifts, and to tell my brain to shut up: I am not lazy. I am not a loser. I am not a slacker. It's not my fault that I don't accomplish much or sometimes anything. So, I try to wait it out and practice acceptance, because it always gets better. I just don't know when. And it is a disease, one I didn't ask for and certainly does not define my character or self worth. Since I'm mostly in remission, I know who I really am, and it is not what I want to tell myself, that nasty internal voice uttering unkind things when I am depressed.

Me and my partner both have depression issues. It helps that we are there to help each other when we recognize each other's symptoms, we just tend to step up for each other, and we pull each other up. So, if you live with someone that suffers from depression, be patient but encouraging. Be helpful but give space and don't be aggressive.

hey, so since this video isn't public, maybe this comment will have a better chance of being seen by the creators. i wanna thank psych2go for creating such a positive community. I've never felt scared to express myself here. that's due to the people that run this amazing channel and the people with good taste that subscribe. also, I don't really see anyone saying much about psych2go's interaction with their community. they have nearly five million subs, (as deserved), a whopping five million people! and yet, whenever I read the comments of a video of theirs, most of the comments are liked and/or responded to. to me, that shows real care. anyone can say, "I care about my fans!" but they put in the effort. in short, I'm just really glad you're here. you teach me about the things I want to learn and school won't bother to talk about. happy new year to all of you wonderful comrades!
